An era is fading to black

Just so you have an idea as to when I am writing, Brett Favre just threw an interception at the Buffalo one yard line that probably lost the Packers the game. The tipped pass that lead to the pick was not entirely Brett Favre's fault, but after they got inside the Buffalo 20, I was struck by a strange feeling. I did not want to see Brett pass the ball. In fact, I was terrified of Brett throwing the ball. I was hoping that they would do the rest on the ground. In the past, I'd have probably been nervous about them getting stuffed on the ground, and I'd have been cheering for them to call a passing play. The Favre era is almost over, but the mystique already is, at least for me.
